       mia-3dmotioncompica-nonrigid - Non-linear registration of a series of 3D images.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-3dmotioncompica-nonrigid -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-3dmotioncompica-nonrigid   This   program  implements  a  3D  version  of  the  motion
       compensation algorithm described in Wollny G, Kellman P, Santos  A,  Ledesma-Carbayo  M-J,
       "Automatic  Motion  Compensation  of  Free Breathing acquired Myocardial Perfusion Data by
       using    Independent    Component    Analysis",    Medical    Image    Analysis,     2012,
